Verdict
Ishebayorgrey has won six times around here though never over a trip this far. WISDOM MIND (NAP), a Curragh maiden winner in May, was having her first start here when a close fourth to Aussie Valentine earlier this month when Atlas was just behind. That was her first start since June and she's on the same mark so she can gain her first success on the surface. Pushaq's two all-weather victories have come on Tapeta at Wolverhampton but he's been running very well on Turf having won easily at Gowran early last month after which he's had a run over hurdles. Gasta makes a very quick reappearance after a very good run at Galway on Monday though he's never raced on an artificial surface.
